I'd like to see a list of Craft Breweries based on how many there are per state. I'd imagine PA is up there.

I'm sure there is a list somewhere in one of the trade / association magazines or maybe even GABF has something posted.

The waiting months part compared to bbq doesn't fit either because normally you won't have home made bbq waiting around at home for you on a whim but after your first month home brewing you normally do. In that since you wait more for the bbq compared to going to the store.

It's not like you say id sort of like a beer, brew it then wait two months. You say I'd sort of like a beer and think what's in my inventory then drink an outstanding beer.

That said I rarely brew anymore and should think about getting rid of some stuff. I'm saddened but beer seems to take a toll on my body/digestive trac it didn't used to.

I had too many good beers yesterday.

Smoking a turkey today. And brewing an imperial stout. Gonna have too many good beers today as well. Maybe one more than too many.

I had a beer making kit, but after it sat downstairs for a couple of years I gave it away to a guy I used to work with. I don't know if he ever made any beer with it. Too easy to just go buy it and now you can get just about any kind of beer you want at the store. I'm about 50 miles from the nearest shpo, but less than 20 from a microbrewer.

The problem with beer in stores is that it's often a bit old or transport damaged / mishandled or both. Some beers take it harder than others.

Since they allowed Growler sales in Texas, I've been able to try a lot of good stuff that the stores don't sell in bottles or cans. I carry a growler in my truck, and have a taphunter app. 🍺 Love beer on tap!

I have room for 30 gallons of beer, on 5 taps. Doesn't last as long as you'd think it would.

Homebrewing is like any other hobby. I enjoy the process, and like having the option and ability to tweak a brew to exactly my liking

Kipp, so you didn't have growler sales there until recently? That sucks, glad you finally got them though.

I'm glad they finally clarified the laws here so that breweries can, if they so chose, fill growlers from other breweries so long as what is currently in the growler is properly indicated on it - in other words, you can use a blank growler now or tape over the other breweries logo. It was getting ridiculous up to that point, I think I had amassed like 14-15 growlers from different breweries because of that confusion with the laws.

Growler on urban dictionary. Aussie slang for an angry muff.

Sitting at DMV. 30 minutes in. Who knows how much longer. The fat women flanking me are loaded with cheap perfume.
